“We stayed in Magnani - on the front of the building however being a reasonably residential area no noise at all to speak off and we stayed on a weekend. Separate bathroom which is big with both shower and tub (with jets which can be used between 9am and 9pm because of noise). The bathroom is directly across from the room and caused no issue for us whatsoever.” (alic610)

“I stayed in the Loren room. As it is corner room, with big windows facing the gardens at the side and back of the building, it was sunny and bright, as well as quiet. I like having the en-suite bathroom. As others have noted, the shower is a bit small, but I didn't mind the size at all.” (saralA7500TV)

“Stayed in the Monica Vitti room, which is a really beatuful corner unit - benefits from a balcony, besides lovely furniture and posters/portraits of the film actress. If sensitive to traffic noise, perhaps consider choosing a room on the back of the building instead.” (59martinz)

“All the rooms are nice. The only thing to be observed is that not all the bedrooms have bathrooms inside. It's not a problem at all, even for me, who don't like the idea, because the bathroom, even outside the bedroom, is all yours!” (marcantonho)

“Room towards the back of the house tends to be quieter than the two rooms at the front.” (Greenscribbler)

“Sophia Loren room has an ensuite shower room. If you are a 'large' person, the shower might be too small. Go for a room with a bathroom, instead.” (anw830)

My girlfriend had treated me to a trip to Rome for my 30th birthday; my only input allowed was in the selecting process for where we would stay. What a decision we made!! Angelo was super attentive and helpful from the moment he met us on the stairs to carry our bags into his perfect little B&B. Clean, bright, fantastic...

I would highly recommend staying at this unique and beautiful place. It is very stylish, fun and comfortable. The décor was exquisite, the owner helpful, the location convenient and the accommodation delightful. The B and B is also connected with a nearby restaurant so make sure to check that out as well. We had the most delicious brunch there!

Many thanks for your excellent review!

Following a business trip in Florence, I spent a few vacation days in Rome at Il Boom in November 2014. I have stayed in many different areas of Rome over the years, as a student living near Campo dei Fiori and later as a professional living in Testaccio. However, this may well be my favorite place to stay in Rome...

Situated in the recidencial area of Trastevere, this is a perfect little B&B to live like a Roman. We stayed here for 7 nights in total, and travelled with our 1 year old child. We enjoyed it immensely.
The two story appartment, where Angelo lives is tastfully decorated with objects from the 50's and 60's. There are 3 rooms, and...

if you want to get in touch with the real rome this is the place! we spend 3 night in this cofortable and cozy B&B, all is good! the room is spacious and clean, we had breakfast on the terrace. I am truly happy we chose Il Boom. grazie Angelo!

Angelo no doubt has one of Romes most special B&B:s - so glad we could stay with him when in Rome. The location is excellent, just a few steps above the buzz in Trastevere, close to all restaurants and bars. Since the building is halfway up Giancolo Hill, and is a double storey top floor penthouse apartment, the views from...

We're very fortunate to have good friends in Rome with whom we stay. For those times when that's not possible, we choose Il Boom. We love the neighborhood, terazza and great room, the bedroom in which we stay and Angelo and the cats. We stay in the Vitti room, which is comfortable, airy and bright. The last time we stayed,...

We really felt at home. Reception and care during our stay by Angelo were great. We loved to take our breakfast in the beautiful room in front of the large terrace overlooking Rome or even on the terrace itsself. The breakfast was rich and tasty with homemade bread, cakes and cookies, fruit, juice and so on. You can reach the...

Staying in Trastevere

Neighborhood Profile

Trastevere

Trastevere ("beyond the Tiber") is like a faded postcard, a little worn around the edges but still charming. With its wide-open piazzas, meandering streets, weathered Renaissance buildings, and overgrown personality, it's become an irresistible mecca for visitors. Trastevere is an enclave of entertainment - a rotating set of street performers entertains almost every night, and unforgettable eateries and bars pepper its piazzas and side streets. For a trip to the past, visit the southern and western flanks of Trastevere for pockets of yesteryear, less traversed areas with a residual 1960s and 70s Roman vibe.

The Bed & Breakfast IL BOOM is in a large apartment (where owners’ family lives) located on the attic floor and penthouse of an early 20th-century building, without lift/elevator, offering a breathtaking view over Rome. Up to 2005 this apartment has been just our home. We restored it with our taste and passion for the three decades (fifties, sixties, seventies) when Rome and Italy made progress and opened up to the world and culture. We tried to save what we could (vintage floors, ceilings, doors, full-length window), and maintain the Roman atmosphere of our place. One of the unique feature of our apartment are the two splendid terraces, equipped with deck-chairs and umbrellas, where guests can sunbathe and enjoy the romantic atmosphere of the Eternal City. On-site amenities furthermore include a comfortable lounge/kitchen, a PC with internet access, and wireless Internet access throughout the apartment. The Bed and Breakfast IL BOOM enjoys an excellent position in the heart of Rome, on the legendary Gianicolo Hill, along a beautiful tree-lined avenue in the charming Trastevere district, one of the city's most ancient and picturesque neighbourhoods. We are located in a quiet and secluded residential area, at a few minutes walking from the most important artistic, archeological, cultural sites of the city.Vatican City is just across Gianicolo Hill (half an hour walking through Fontanone - a monumental fountain - and Piazza Garibaldi - the most beautiful view of the city. Campo de Fiori, Piazza Farnese, Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Tiber Island, Campidoglio, all the historical center is just under our place. Restaurants, pizzerias, bars, pubs, any kind of shops are at five minutes walking. And we have also very efficient and close public transportation (daily and nightly): Bus 44, 75, 870, H; tram 8. The Bed and Breakfast Il Boom offers 3 spacious double guest rooms (Loren, Magnani and Vitti), each featuring an elegant private bathroom and ample wardrobes. Individually decorated in an attractive 50's, 60's and 70's style, the rooms are named after three famous Italian movie stars of that period: Anna Magnani, Sophia Loren and Monica Vitti. Each room is large and very light, with high plastered ceiling. Room Loren is the quietest one because it gives onto Villa Sciarra (a small public park) and nearby gardens. It features a small private en-suite bathroom with shower, and a flat screen TV. Room Magnani has a window with a wonderful view over Rome. It features an external (just in front of the room itself) very large private bathroom with large jacuzzi bathtub and shower. It has a flat screen TV. A single bed can be added. Room Vitti has a balcony and a window with a wonderful view over Rome. It features an external (just outside the room itself) private black & white bathroom with shower. It has a flat screen TV, and a double sofa bed. All accommodations are strictly non-smoking and equipped with independent air conditioning, centralized heating, hair dryer, and wireless Internet connection. A delicious self-service continental breakfast, with home-made cakes and biscuits, toasts, jam, yogurt, fruit juice, milk, tea and coffee, is at guests' disposal in the kitchen. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the dining area or on the outdoor terrace, whenever you prefer, at any time until 1 p.m....more less
